Hearing the precise answer, the gravity on Chen Yuan's face deepened. He had previously learned about the strong individuals on the Fengyun Ranking, including this 'Four Symbols Divine Arrow' Liu Zhenzong.

He hailed from the Liu family of Shuzhou. Although this family's reputation was not particularly prominent, no one dared to underestimate it, because the 'Liu family' had a great background.

Their ancestor was a royal family during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period before the Former Chu.

However, after a thousand years of vicissitudes, their present power was far less than before. On the surface, they didn't even have a Huayang True Person, but their foundation was very deep.

A Huayang powerhouse once coveted the Liu family and wanted to destroy them.

But later, for some unknown reason, that Huayang powerhouse completely disappeared from the Jianghu after uttering those harsh words. People said that a hidden expert from the Liu family emerged and suppressed him.

And this Liu Zhenzong was also quite extraordinary, a Junjie from the same Hidden Dragon Ranking as Jiang He. He had once reached the top ten. Although he was not as dazzling as Jiang He,

he was definitely a rare Dan Realm master below the Huayang Realm.

Especially his archery, which was unparalleled in the Jianghu.

Few could compare.

The Four Symbols Divine Arrow had even shot and killed several Dan Realm Grandmasters. Some in the Jianghu rumored that this person's strength was probably not just thirty-second on the Fengyun Ranking, possessing the strength of the top twenty.

"I've heard of you for a long time, I've heard of you."

Chen Yuan cupped his hands towards Liu Zhenzong.

"Brother Chen is too kind."

Liu Zhenzong was a man of few words and returned the salute with cupped hands.

"Brother Chen, this is not the place to talk. How about... gathering at the Wangxing Tower in Jiangdu Prefecture?" Shangguan Yu said with a smile.

"Okay."

Chen Yuan nodded.

......

......

The Wangxing Tower mentioned by Shangguan Yu was also one of the industries under the Shangguan family. It had a considerable reputation in Jiangdu Prefecture and catered to Jianghu martial artists.

With this good brother around, the group was naturally arranged on the top floor.

After a few rounds of wine and five courses of dishes,

the casual chat at the banquet began. With Shangguan Yu warming up the atmosphere, the group chatted happily. Because of Liu Zhenzong's taciturn nature, Chen Yuan became the center of attention.

Many topics revolved around him.

The most talked about was his previous Ascending Immortal battle prowess, defeating the heroes of the world to reach the top, and forcefully shattering the Sumeru Illusion in the capital, demonstrating the power of the Central Plains martial artists.

He was simply their role model.

In addition, Chen Yuan also briefly asked about Shangguan Yu's cultivation. Overall, it was similar to what Shangguan Hong had said before, everything was very stable.

With the Shangguan family supporting him from behind, nothing serious would really happen.

Shangguan Yu quickly waved his hand and said some modest words.

Of course, while he said he was being modest, he was also humble at heart.

His talent was quite extraordinary. He had broken through to the Dan Realm before the age of thirty, which was definitely rare among geniuses. But compared to Chen Yuan, he was far behind.

Because the current Chen Yuan had already stepped into the Solid Dan Realm before him and reached the top fifty on the Fengyun Ranking. The two were simply not on the same level.

After some humility, the sect leader of the Mad Saber Sect mentioned the Tang Sect's invitation this time. They were all invited and each had their own little plan in their hearts.

Some just wanted to watch the excitement, some wanted to profit from it, and others wanted to befriend the Tang Sect leader.

After all, Tang Xianzhuo was known in Shuzhou as having the potential to reach the Huayang Realm. Although he was only in the top thirty of the Fengyun Ranking, like Liu Zhenzong, no one dared to underestimate him.

Chen Yuan remained silent, absorbing information that would be beneficial to him.

Judging from the guidance of the opportunity, it was likely that this Tang Sect leader had other intentions in holding this three-year grand ceremony, some kind of ulterior motive. And what he had to do was to profit from it.

To obtain the opportunity that belonged to him.

At the dinner table, everyone chatted happily until nearly dawn, when they dispersed. Chen Yuan was also arranged in a good room, next to Liu Zhenzong.

The two nodded and smiled before turning around.

Thus, another night passed.

Chen Yuan did not tell Shangguan Yu about the problems that might arise tomorrow, because even if he told him, it probably wouldn't be of any use. It wouldn't be too late to mention it when it really came.

This night was a sleepless night. Chen Yuan spent it in meditation.

But in a Tang Sect manor somewhere in the prefecture city, it was a different scene altogether.

The Tang Sect leader, Tang Xianzhuo, inherited his father's business. In his early years, his father was just an insignificant elder in the Tang Sect, but because he met a benefactor, he gradually took control of the Tang Sect and passed it on to Tang Xianzhuo.

And he also remembered the family instructions. One day, that senior would personally descend upon the Tang Sect, and their Tang family must unconditionally be loyal.

Originally, more than a hundred years had passed, and Tang Xianzhuo had forgotten about this matter. He didn't take it to heart. But just two months ago, the descendant holding that senior's token appeared!

The reason for holding this three-year ceremony in such a grand manner was that person's idea.

Tang Xianzhuo did not dare to underestimate this mysterious force in the slightest and had always been very respectful. Of course, the main reason was that they had promised to help him with something.

A major event of utmost importance to him!

Inside the hall, the lights were brightly lit. Tang Xianzhuo squinted his eyes and sat at the head, as if waiting for someone. His fingers tapped constantly on the table.

He was tall and upright, with a dignified appearance. He wore the attire of the Tang Sect leader and exuded an aura of authority.

In an instant, a gust of wind swept past the window, and the dead leaves on the ground moved with the wind. Tang Xianzhuo's eyes narrowed, and he immediately understood that the person he was waiting for had arrived. He immediately knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice:

"Tang Sect leader Tang Xianzhuo respectfully welcomes Young Master Ling Tian!"

He didn't know these people's surnames. He only knew that... the leader, a person with double pupils, called himself Young Master Ling Tian.

"Sect Leader Tang is too polite."

A faint voice came from outside, and in an instant, several figures appeared in front of the door. The leader was heroic and tall, with his long hair tied up. The most striking thing was that his eyes had double pupils.

A person with double pupils!!!

Beside him were several other figures, three men and one woman, all of whom were young people.

And the auras emanating from their bodies were all Dan Realm cultivations!

The only difference was that they were either stronger or weaker.

The three men seemed to be guards, wearing black armor and with faces as cold as frost. The other woman wore a blue robe and had a indifferent expression. Young Master Ling Tian, the leader, slowly stepped into the hall, bypassed Tang Xianzhuo, directly sat in the main seat, and said indifferently:

"Sect Leader Tang, sit."

"Thank you, Young Master."

Tang Xianzhuo slowly got up, but did not sit down. Instead, he bowed to the young man at the head, his expression respectful.

"How are things being prepared?"

Young Master Ling Tian looked at him calmly and asked.

"In response to Young Master, it's basically almost done. Nearly twenty Dan Realm Grandmasters have come to Jiangdu Prefecture this time. Almost half of the experts from Shuzhou are here.

It's just a pity that this subordinate's reputation is not enough. I could only invite this many."

"Twenty people."

Young Master Ling Tian nodded slightly. This... was almost enough.

The Holy Pool should be enough for him to cleanse his bloodline.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"It is only right to do things for Young Master. I dare not talk about hard work."

Young Master Ling Tian smiled:

"Don't worry, this young master will help you with your matter. How is the physical body being prepared?"

"Seven bodies have been found now. It's just a pity that there was a slight problem with the most suitable Shangguan Hong. Could... something go wrong?" When he asked this, Tang Xianzhuo's face was unusually grave.

He was so diligent, even at the cost of the Tang Sect's destruction, for this reason. If something went wrong, he would never be able to see her again in this life.

"Well... it doesn't matter. It's just that her cultivation might not be able to be preserved."

"Being able to revive her is already this subordinate's extravagant hope. It doesn't matter if a little cultivation is lost." Tang Xianzhuo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sect Leader Tang's love for his wife is really admirable to this young master. It is my wish that lovers would be united, and I also want to see that scene." Young Master Ling Tian said with a faint smile.

He seemed to be truly impressed.

The reason why Tang Xianzhuo, a master on the Fengyun Ranking and the leader of a sect, flattered him in such a humble manner was because he had said when he approached him earlier that he would

revive his wife with the Secret Art of Replacing Souls for Heaven.

This was why he was willing to do these things for them.

Otherwise, even with the past favors, it would not be so easy to make him submit. Perhaps that was why that person entrusted this matter to him as a test.

"If it can be accomplished, even if the entire Tang Sect is buried, this subordinate will not hesitate!" Tang Xianzhuo's face was filled with solemnity. He knew very well that if he killed these Dan Realm Grandmasters this time,

whether it was the forces behind them or other forces in Shuzhou, they would regard the Tang Sect as demonic heretics and try their best to eliminate them. But for her, these could all be given up.

In his eyes, it seemed that he could once again see that graceful figure, smiling at him.

"What courage! This is worthy of being the Tang Sect leader. Don't worry, even if you kill these people, you won't have any accidents. At worst, the Tang Sect will hide in the dark. When my clan changes the world, this Shuzhong, or even the entire Shuzhou, will become your Tang Sect's jurisdiction." Young Master Ling Tian nodded and smiled.

"Thank you, Young Master."

"Alright, I'm here today just to ask about things. I have to go back and prepare for tomorrow's major event. Where is your beloved wife's soul? Give it to me."

Young Master Ling Tian said.

Tang Xianzhuo immediately took out a piece of dead wood from his close-fitting embrace and offered it respectfully.

This dead wood was pitch-black all over, with obscure and mysterious patterns on it, emitting a strong Yin Qi. It was a rare treasure in the Jianghu, a Soul-Nurturing Wood!

It was something he had obtained at a great cost.

Young Master Ling Tian waved his hand, and the section of Soul-Nurturing Wood fell into his hand. Then, he slowly stood up, walked to Tang Xianzhuo's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said lightly:

"Don't disappoint me?"

"Young Master, rest assured!"

Young Master Ling Tian smiled faintly and left.

The people behind him also looked at each other and silently followed.

Looking at the gradually disappearing backs of the group, Tang Xianzhuo smiled, even crying out in laughter. He looked at the front vaguely, as if she was waving to him.

He said softly:

"Revive, my love!!!"

For her, Tang Xianzhuo could give up everything, including the Tang Sect.

He would never forget the scenes of his youth. To this day, they still echoed in Tang Xianzhuo's mind. Those people were his hope.

He could only place his hope on them.

His father once told him that these people had extremely noble identities, unimaginable to ordinary people. They possessed endless accumulation and power.

It was an honor for the Tang Sect to do things for them.

He had guessed their identities many times before, but this time he didn't want to guess. As long as they could revive Jiu'er, then they were gods!

He was now even looking forward to tomorrow coming sooner, so that... he could see Jiu'er as soon as possible.

And the previous Young Master Ling Tian and his group, with a shift of their bodies, had already quickly left Jiangdu Prefecture and arrived at Dujiangyan, where they stopped.

"This great and beautiful land is really magnificent. It's just a pity... it will be destroyed this time." Young Master Ling Tian said softly as he looked at the Minjiang River in front of him.

"Brother, do you really have to breach this place in the end? This Minjiang River concerns the welfare of hundreds of millions of people in Shuzhong. Once it's destroyed, I'm afraid..."

The woman in the blue dress persuaded with some reluctance.

"Sister, don't have too much pity. It's just a mere million people. It won't be long before my clan restores the country, and this place will flourish again.

If this place is not destroyed, the people of Shuzhong can survive, so how can they rebel? Those forces that covet the court, how can they be ready to make a move?

The mysterious Taoist Divine Palace made a scene in the imperial city before, which has already dealt the Sima family a heavy blow. If this kind of thing happens a few more times, the world will be in chaos.

These usurpers of the Sima family gathered the power of the Jianghu immortal sects to destroy our dynasty. They should also taste these bitter fruits."

A cold light flashed in Young Master Ling Tian's eyes.

The education these people had received since childhood was to restore the country! Restore the country! Restore the country!

They wanted to exterminate the Sima family, who had seized their family's world, at all times.

"I just think it's a little cruel. There are obviously other methods."

"But this is the easiest and easiest method. As long as all the Dan Realm Grandmasters gathered by Tang Xianzhuo are killed, this Dujiangyan can be easily breached without any need to use your brains.

Moreover, if you want to restore the country, what great things can you accomplish if you only have pity in your heart? The clan leader said that those who accomplish great things do not stick to trifles. With all living beings as the chessboard,

the people of Shuzhong are just an insignificant chess piece among them."

"Then... Tang Xianzhuo? Are you going to deceive him too? I know that you don't have the means to revive his wife at all. Why bother?" The woman in the blue dress asked again.

Young Master Ling Tian heard this, looked at the Soul-Nurturing Wood in his hand with some contempt, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"Tang Xianzhuo is just a dog of my Xiang family. Now that his wife's soul is in my hands, how dare he bite his master? At worst, give him a living dead person, so that he can better contribute to the Xiang family's restoration of the country!"

The woman in the blue dress let out a breath, feeling a little unbearable, but she didn't say anything more, because Xiang Lingtian was now the heir of the Xiang clan's imperial family,

She didn't have the qualifications to make him change his mind.

She could only sigh at the cruelty of the world. Everything was on the chessboard of the great figures.

Restore the country...

How difficult it was!

"How is the matter I entrusted to you being done? The clan leader said before that the secrets of heaven have changed, and that old guy Wu Daozi is in the Shuzhong area. He must be found, perhaps it is related to my clan's plan to restore the country."

Xiang Lingtian changed the subject and asked.

Xiang Linwu shook her head:

"The four prefectures of Shuzhong are so vast. Wu Daozi is also known as the Painting Saint, and his own methods are very mysterious. Even if he was seriously injured decades ago, he may have recovered by now. Finding him is even more difficult than ascending to heaven."

"The clan leader's orders must be carried out. This matter will be put aside for now. After the Tang Xianzhuo three-year grand ceremony, we will use all our strength to find him. I don't believe that

he can still turn the world upside down!"

"Anyone who is not used by my Xiang family must die!"

Xiang Lingtian said in a deep voice.

"It's up to brother."

"Hehe..."

A faint sneer appeared at the corner of Xiang Lingtian's mouth, as if he had already seen the so-called masters who could stir up the wind and rain tomorrow, screaming before their deaths.

That kind of feeling must be... very good.

First eliminate a wave of Jianghu experts in Shuzhong and attract the court's attention to the south. At that time, they would stir up trouble from all over the world. How long could this Sima Dynasty, which was already struggling to support itself, last?

The world... restore the country!!!

......

......

The next day, early in the morning.

Chen Yuan, who was meditating, slowly opened his eyes. A burst of bright light shot out from the room, as if illuminating the entire room. He slowly got up,

and adjusted his aura to the highest level.

Facing the impending danger...

He had to face it in his prime.

Because when he was meditating and cultivating last night, he carefully thought about the guidance of the opportunity and Tang Xianzhuo's grand ceremony, and always felt a faint sense of danger.

Could it be that he really dared to trick all the Dan Realm Grandmasters who were present?

Even top forces wouldn't dare to do that, right?

After all, many of them have extraordinary identities. Like Shangguan Yu, he is the future patriarch of the top family, the Shangguan family. Once there is any damage,

the Tang Sect will be destroyed with thunderous anger.

And how could a mere first-class force like the Tang Sect be able to withstand public anger?

Could it be...

At the cost of abandoning the Tang Sect's foundation?

What Chen Yuan didn't know was that his guess was already close to the truth, but it was only close. He wouldn't have thought that this time, there would even be descendants of the previous dynasty involved.

After having breakfast at Wangxing Tower with Shangguan Yu, Liu Zhenzong and others, the group rushed to Dujiangyan to wait, because Tang Xianzhuo's three-year grand ceremony for his wife was to be held here.

And they were obviously a little early. Hundreds of Tang Sect disciples were preparing the things used for the ceremony here, and the pomp was really not small.

Some were even carving some formations...

As time passed, more and more people gathered nearby. In addition to many Dan Realm Grandmasters who had a small reputation in Shuzhou, most of them were juniors in the Tongxuan and Ninggang realms.

It was just a pity that after circling around, Chen Yuan didn't find the next Son of Destiny.

He was a little regretful, because he originally wanted to fish in troubled waters and kill another Son of Destiny.

The Minjiang River was flowing endlessly, and the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks was like the sound of war drums beating.

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and waited quietly for the time to come.
